In an unfortunate incident, Gurugram resident Swati Garg lost her life after a fire broke out in Tulip Orange towers where she used to live. Around 2 am on October 7, Garg came out of her house and realised that a fire had broken out in the building due to which smoke filled the stairwell. She immediately warned her family members and the other residents of the building who were then able to escape to safety on the higher floors. In a bid to let the smoke out of the building Garg headed to the 10th floor where she found the terrace door to be locked, two hours later firefighters found her dead next to the door. Asphyxiated by the smoke, Swati Garg lost her life after saving others including her husband and daughter. It took a full hour for the fire brigade to reach Tulip Orange towers and begin rescue operations.
